SEC Tournament 2008

The SEC Tournament is the conference championship tournament in basketball for the Southeastern Conference. The event is a single-elimination tournament that involves all league schools (currently 12). Its seeding is based on regular season records. The winner, declared Conference Champion, receives the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA men's basketball tournament.

The 2008 SEC Men's Basketball Tournament will take place on March 13-16, 2008 in Atlanta, Georgia at the Georgia Dome. Starting in 1933 the event was held every year through 1952, with the exception of 1935. After a 26-year layoff (1953-78), the tournament was renewed in 1979. The 2008 tournament will be the 49th in league history and the 30th since the renewal.

In 1992 the SEC split into an Eastern and Western Division and the league began awarding division championships. Since 1979 when the tournament was renewed the winner has received the SEC’s automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.

Kentucky leads the league with 25 SEC Tournament titles. Alabama is second with six, while Tennessee ranks third with four, Florida three and Mississippi State has two championship trophies.
